It’s easy to take for granted hot water in our taps and food in our cupboards. The high cost of necessities means more children and adults are being pulled further into poverty. That ultimately impacts us all. Your donation to the SOS Winter Emergency Fund provides at-risk residents with vouchers for groceries, propane, and support for other basic needs. So, the next time you run your tap or turn on your light switch, pay your gratitude forward by helping someone in need. To learn more and to donate, visit our website or come by our Community Services Centre in Parksville.
